Hertie School: Student life
Berlin is a political and cultural centre and a crossroads for travel in Germany, Europe and beyond. In the city's “Mitte” neighbourhood, the Hertie School is just minutes away from the Bundestag, the Brandenburg Gate and other important political and historic landmarks.
With numerous student clubs focused on discussing social innovation, sustainability and international political economy, or learning a new language, Hertie School students are constantly taking the initiative to make the most of their time at the school. From the student-run online magazine the Governance Post, to student-led panel discussions with ambassadors and conferences such as the European Public Policy Conference, there are many opportunities to get involved in and help foster a culture of exchange and engagement.
And it doesn’t stop with graduation! After finishing your master’s degree, you will join an active global alumni network, an integral part of the Hertie School community and a great resource for personal and professional development.
